Chapter 5 Peacefulness and Tranquility
Ah Li watched the person who came to talk to him with his fists, stood there for a while and didn't know what to do, and finally said in a pitted manner: I don't seem to know you. β
Ling Yun laughed and said: "I just saw the little brother so righteous, I, Ling Yun, admire the young man's mind very much, and want to make friends with the little brother, what do you think?"
Without waiting for Ah Li to speak, Tian Kan stood up and pointed at him and said, "There is a stinky Taoist priest and a person who looks like a dog, don't fight our idea anymore, we don't even have silver taels to eat now." After saying that, he was angry and wanted to pull Ah Li to the inn.
I saw Ling Yun frown slightly, and then stretched out his hand to block Ah Li's way from them, "Little brothers, Ling Mou was offended a lot just now, but I really want to make friends with you, I'm not greedy for your money, nor do I want to cheat you out of anything, so let's do it, I'll ask you to enjoy your face and go here with us to eat something." With that, he pointed to the Delong Inn.
"But you and I have never met, why do you want to make friends with us?" Ye Zi asked.
Ling Yun said: "Meeting is a kind of fate, besides, today there is a righteous act that let me meet all the little brothers, isn't it fate plus fate? If I don't make friends with you, wouldn't it be against the will of heaven." With that, he smiled at the leaves.
"Phew, that's a flamboyant tongue. Ye Zi blushed embarrassedly when he looked at him like this, and scolded.
A few people didn't say much and walked into the inn. The boss named Chai Shentong raised his head and glanced at Ah Li, and they were writing something to themselves.
Ling Yun finally walked into the inn and went to the counter to find Chai Shentong, "Boss, that Dao Ye just now is my friend, and his wine account is mine." As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot and placed it on the counter.
Chai Shentong looked up and immediately said, "Master Ling, don't you want to break my old bones, don't talk about that Dao Master, I don't take a penny from the customers in the entire store." After speaking, he smiled flatteringly at Ling Yun, "Boss, if you don't accept it, everyone here will think that the people in our official family are people who write bullying and bully the market, you better accept it, remember to serve more good wine and food, I want to have a drink with these young heroes." β
Chai Shentong hesitated for a moment and picked up the ingot of silver, and then said with a smile on his face, "When these guest officers lived here yesterday, I felt that a few of them were heroic and extraordinary, and they were rich and noble people at a glance with a spring breeze on their faces, hehe, it turned out that they knew Ling Guanye, what a coincidence, haha." Hey, that Erdezi immediately went upstairs to clean up a Tianzi restaurant, and greeted Ling Guanye and a few young heroes" Erdezi heard the words, and hurriedly ran upstairs with a promise.
Ling Yun took Ah Li and them upstairs, Ah Li where had they eaten in such a graceful and luxurious place, Ah Li and they were really nervous, even Tian Kan, who had always loved to eat, just sat in his position and rubbed his hands nervously.
Ling Yun broke the silence first, "In Xia Ling Yun, I don't know what the names of all the young heroes are. β
Ah Li, Tian Kan, and Jing Mu all said their names, and Ling Yun looked at Ye Zi and said, "This girl, can you let me know your name." Ye Zi snorted and said, "Didn't you say anything about providence and fate just now, then you can guess my name, since it is the will of heaven, how can you not know my name." Hearing this, Ah Li hurriedly pushed Ye Zi and asked her not to be so unreasonable to others, Ye Zi turned his head and no longer paid attention to Ah Li.
"Haha, then I'll guess, let's eat first. After speaking, he glanced at Erdezi and said, "If you have any good wine and food, you will serve it to me immediately." Hurry up and know?" Er Dezi answered, and went downstairs to prepare the meal.
Ye Zi also snorted coldly at this time, "If you can't guess, just say eat, people like you can't see what you are capable of except for a flamboyant tongue." β
Ling Yun was not angry and said, "Then I guarantee that I will be able to guess your name immediately after we serve the food." Ye Zi also sneered, "Okay, even if you think of eating, you can't think of it." Ling Yun didn't say anything anymore, and after a while, the food was brought up one by one, and they were dazzled by all kinds of looks, and Tian Kan's saliva kept swallowing.
Just as they were about to eat, they were stopped by the leaves, "Say, the dishes are ready, say my name, if you can't guess, I'll leave immediately." "Haha, I guess your name is in the following poem, the winter wind sweeps away the autumn leaves, and the loving mother sends her son back next year, do you say it's in it, Ye Zi girl." β
Ye Zi was also surprised at this time, not only Ye Zi, but even Ah Li and them were really surprised.
Ye Zi asked, "How do you know?" Ling Yun said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, if you want to know the secret of heaven, you should first appreciate your face and eat this meal." During the banquet, Ling Yun and Ah Li told them a lot about what he saw and heard in Yangzhou City and other places, in the words, Ah Li felt that Ling Yun's knowledge was very extensive, Tiannan and Haibei seemed to know everything, and when chatting, they gradually became acquainted with each other, from the beginning of Ling Daxia to the last Ling Da Brother, everyone was also very happy, especially Ye Zi from the original-for-tat everywhere to the later Ling Brother Ling, watching Ye Zi and Ling Yun keep talking, Ah Li had mixed feelings in his heart, maybe he thought too muchγ
After he was full of wine and food, Ah left his mouth and asked, "Brother Ling, I want to ask what the official gate is, whether it is the yamen or the place, why is that boss a little scared when he sees you so respectful." β
Ling Yun said: " The so-called official door and the yamen are different, the imperial examination has a literary examination and a martial arts examination, the so-called Wen Zhuangyuan with the title of the gold list will go straight to Chang'an to seek an official position, and some of those martial champions and some of the descendants of the military generals of the extremely popular ministers will be eligible to enter the official gate in Yangzhou City, although entering the official gate is not directly confronted with the saint, but it has greater power than those Wen Zhuangyuan and even those officials in the palace, sometimes the official gate has the power of life and death within the jurisdiction of Yangzhou City, and it is divided into three factions in Yangzhou Guanmen, Qingfeng, Mingyue and Dark Hall, Qingfeng Mingyue two factions are mainly responsible for the security work of the entire Tang Dynasty and are responsible for leading troops to fight when there is a war, I'm in the breeze "Ye Zidao" that dark night, why are the names of these so contrasting, the front is breezy, and the bright moon is dark night. β
Ling Yun said, "As for this dark night, it belongs directly to the imperial court, and we Qingfeng and Mingyue people have no right to ask, and even the members of them don't know until now." β
"Wow, if you enter the official gate like that, won't you be on the rise. It's just that those who have been officials for generations are cheaper, and others are working hard, but they can go in directly," Tian Kan said indignantly. Ling Yun said: "Don't think that the descendants of those generals can enter at will, they also have to go through the selection of the imperial court, and only if they are qualified to enter the official gate if they are qualified in the experience sent by the imperial court, if they are qualified, they are not afraid of your jokes, our official family can be regarded as the most elite team in the Tang Dynasty, and it is the best of the best." β
Ling Yun raised his head unconsciously as he spoke.
"Then, is there any kind of person who didn't enter the official gate of Brother Ling? Jing Mu asked. Ling Yun shook his head and said, "I haven't seen any flat-headed people enter the official gate so far. After hearing this, Jing Mu's eyes immediately dimmed, Ah Li patted Jing Mu's shoulder, as a brother, he knew Jing Mu's inner thoughts very well.
"Then Brother Ling, how did you enter the official gate. Ye Zi asked, Ling Yun said, "I am a descendant of Wuchen, and my father is Ling Yu." "Ah" After listening to Ling Yun's words, they all came out in unison, mainly because Ah Li was no stranger to the name Ling Yu.
Ling Yu, during the Tang Dynasty, he guarded the Wolf Pass in the Central Plains with thirty-eight horses, and took the thirty-eight horses to guard the route of the Sui army's attack for two days and two nights to win time for the front army to attack, and finally the thirty-eight horsemen died, General Ling Yu's whereabouts are unknown, since the emperors of the Tang Dynasty were in power, they all particularly respected General Ling Yu, and adults in the streets and alleys will tell such stories to encourage their descendants, over time, the name Ling Yu is like a legend deeply imprinted in people's hearts, plus the imperial court also continues to promote Ling Yu, so that Ling Yu has truly become a legendγ When they saw his descendants, as some children who had grown up listening to Ling Yu's stories, they became even more curious about Ling Yun, and after Ah Li asked them a little more about his father, the feast ended in the evening.
"Oh no, it's already evening, how do we get home. Seeing that night was about to fall, Ah Li couldn't help but say worriedly. Everyone looked outside and couldn't help but worry. "Friends, don't worry, if you don't dislike it, I'll let my carriage take you back. β
Now, Ah Li and they no longer shirked, so they hurriedly packed up their things and went downstairs, when they went downstairs, that Chai Shentong inevitably boasted, Ah Li got into the carriage but still saw Ye Zi there and Ling Yun there chattering about something, Ah Li felt a loss for no reason, and finally Ye Zi reluctantly got into the carriage under Tian Kan's constant urging.
"Friends, be careful on the road, I, Ling Yun, are waiting for you at any time in Yangzhou. Ling Yun said.
"Thank you, there will be a meeting with Brother Ling in the future. "Apocalypse.
After saying goodbye, the carriage kept rushing forward, the leaves in the carriage kept talking about Ling Yun, Tian Kan was lying there and falling asleep, as for Ah Li and Jing Mu were sitting in the carriage with their own hearts and Ye Zi had no words to say, I don't know how long it took, the carriage finally drove to Xiang'an Town, when Ah Li got down from the carriage, seeing the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but cry bitterly, this is Xiang'an Town or hell on earth!
